IMPROVEMENT IN COMPOUNDS FOR COVERING ROOFS AND VESSELS AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES,

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 216,547, dated June 17, 1879; application filed March 17, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

lie it known that I, JULIUS WETTENDoRrF, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented a newaud useful Compound for Covering Roots, Vessels, and for other Purposes, which I call Anaquarine, which compound and the uses thereof are fully de cribed in the following specification.

This invention relates to that class of compounds used to protect matter against the ctfeets of water, decay, atmosphere, &c.; also, to inclosc wood and other substances subject to dceayin an air and water tight cover; also, to make water-tight vessels, pipes, also, sheets for the lining of ice-houses, wooden walls, and roofs. The compound may also be simply used as a paint on nuttter. H

To prepare the anaquarine, take four parts ofgood cement-say, Portland cement; three parts of fresh unslaked lune powderethand two parts of powdered resin and mix these ingredients to a thick consistency with clabbcrmilk the whole sheet thus produced under a press- 4 ure when nearly dry.

after straining oil the whey. Iake a. Broad stitf brush or a broad knife, and spread To protect wood from water, decay, ever-for instance, railroad-ties, fence-posts, and the like-give them a coating of the compound, and wrap them in paper also coated with the compoundas often as the desired thickness may require.

To make watertightvessels, cisterns, canoes, shifts, pipes, &c., place several layers of paper pasted together around the model, form, or molding, and coat it on the outside with the compound the same way as for the covering of root's above described. When dry, take the form out and give the inside a good coat.

In many cases, instead of paper, cloth, lin- .eu, or cotton may be used.

In order to give the thus-prepared objects still more tenacity and durability, I wish to reserve the right to give an additional coating of pitch or linseed-oil in cases where I deem necessary.

I do not limitmyself to the exact proportions herein specified, as they might be varied without departing from my invention.

I claim as my invention- The compound herein described, consisting of about four parts of cement, three parts of fresh unslaked powdered lime, and two parts of powdered resin, mixed with clabber-milk, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

JULIUS \VETTENDORFF.
